10.2. Installing Additional Software
Handy Terminal is shipped with the operating system, radio drivers, and custom software (CICO)
already installed. These are the default programs that install when your terminal first boots up. You
can install additional software programs on the terminal provided that the following parameters are
met:
• The software program was created for a Windows CE device.
• The terminal has enough memory to store and run the program.
• The program has an EXE, CAB, or DLL extension.
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the
Windows Embedded Pointmobile 6.5 Pro and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor
by tapping Start -> Settings -> System -> About -> Version tab. Make a note of the
information in the Processor field.
To install additional software, you can use the communication options described in this chapter.
• Adding Programs via ActiveSync (paragraph 10.13).
• Adding Programs from the Internet (paragraph 10.17).
10.3. Connecting the USB ActiveSync Cable
To facilitate USB communication between the Handy Terminal and the host workstation, you may
connect your unit to a host by using either the USB ActiveSync cable, the optional Single Slot
Docking Cradle or the optional Single Slot Ethernet Cradle. If you use the Communication Cable,
slide the cable unit onto the bottom of the terminal lining up the terminal’s micro-USB connector
with the cable unit’s connector.
10.4. ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate
communication type on the host workstation and the Handy Terminal. Handy Terminals ship with
ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation,
you just need to connect the Handy Terminal to the host workstation (via Handy Terminal
peripheral) to initiate communication.
